ChangHwan Kim

Professor of Sociology, University of Kansas

Professor Kim is specialized in the areas of stratification, work and organizations, race and ethnicity, Asian American studies, Korea studies, and quantitative methodology. The common concern of his research is to contribute to the generation of the critical knowledge and information that will ultimately help policy makers to understand and eventually ameliorate the undesirable sources of increasing socioeconomic polarization in our society. Methodologically, he is interested in panel models and diverse statistical decompositions. His work appears, among others, in American Sociological Review, Social Forces, Annual Review of Sociology, Sociology of Education, Sociological Methods & Research, Demography, and Korean Journal of Sociology.

Computing

LaTeX

LaTeX is a typesetting program. It creates documents with more beauty and better functionality (extremely
useful to express complicated equations) than
any other word programs such as MS-Word. And LaTeX is FREE.
Hope more sociologists to use LaTeX and more sociological journals to accept LaTeX or PDF files for submission.
